This month Teabagger tell you why Ignite
got his attention and kept it.
IGNITE is high on my list of great new
music right now. What is it that makes IGNITES music so appealing
to me? It’s hard for me to put a  finger
on it or to pigeonhole their sound with a vague description. The
sound is new and original to say the least, and I’d say it’s definitely
“vast”, not vague. You know how it is when you listen to new music
sometimes but you can’t really “hear” what all the excitement is about?
IGNITE doesn’t suffer from that problem at all.
I’m a convert on the strength of their
live show. But the new release, “A Place Called Home” does not disappoint
the listener either. IGNITE is a punk/hardcore band that writes socially
aware lyrics and supports human and environmental causes. They also display
the musicianship to deliver their message with Tomahawk missile effect!
Check out the tongue in cheek lyric on “Who Sold out now”. Constant
complaining/Makes my ears ring/I care about hardcore/But I hate the scene.
Or, the anthemic “Veteran”. Yeah you’re abandoned so sorry/You’re
just a waste of their time/Yeah you’ve been lied to once again/Yeah well
they’ve paid you no mind/Where are we, where are we now? “A Place
Called Home is full of surprises both musically and lyrically.
Of the thirteen songs on this disc, there’s
not  one I can’t
“hear”. There’s something so unique about singer Zoli Teglas’ vocals
that they totally defy all conventional description. Could it possibly
be that’s because he’s a “real” singer? Before you know it you’re
singing along to songs like “Burned Up” where looking at the lyrics,
“ Burned up/My throat is ripped open” you’d expect it to be a Morbid Angel
deathfest, until it turns optimistic on you. That’s what I like most
about these songs, is that they’re all about overcoming and making things
better. We need this kind of stuff man!

their online shopping cart.
